The Louisville Pro Day was March 24 and, in addition to QB Brian Brohm, the others working out included TE Gary Barnidge, OL Breno Giacomini and WR trio of Harry Douglas, Mario Urrutia and Pat Carter.

Under Tim Ruskell, the Seahawks have primarily used their college scouts to man these Pro Day workouts. The assistant coaches got involved at the scouting combine in February and have been studying video of players since then.

There are two times in franchise history that stick out as far as the head coach going to a campus workout.

The first came in 1986, when Chuck Knox made the long trek to Florida to see fullback John L. Williams. The Seahawks selected him in the first round – the 15th pick overall, and one year after the mistake that was taking fullback Owen Gill with their top pick (second round) in ’85.

The other was in 1997, when Dennis Erickson went to see cornerback Shawn Springs at the Ohio State Pro Day and returned with this edict for GM Randy Mueller: “I don’t care what it takes to get it done, I want this kid.”

Mueller orchestrated a trade to move up to the third pick overall to get Springs. Three picks later, after another trade, the club selected some tackle from Florida State. You might have heard of him – Walter Jones.
